n. The classic text Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools , by Alfred V. Aho, Ravi Sethi, and Jeffrey D. Ullman (Addison-Wesley 1986; ISBN 0-201-10088-6), so called because of the cover design featuring a dragon labeled complexity of compiler design and a knight bearing the lance LALR parser generator among his other trappings. This one is more specifically known as the Red Dragon Book (1986); an earlier edition, sans Sethi and titled Principles Of Compiler Design (Alfred V. Aho and Jeffrey D. Ullman; Addison-Wesley, 1977; ISBN 0-201-00022-9), was the ` reen Dragon Book (1977). (Also New Dragon Book , Old Dragon Book. ) The horsed knight and the Green Dragon were warily eying each other at a distance; now the knight is typing (wearing gauntlets!) at a terminal showing a video-game representation of the Red Dragon's head while the rest of the beast extends back in normal space.
